Lie Groups and Algebras

Hours

3.0 Credit, 3 Lecture, 0 Lab

Prerequisites

Semester

Winter
Basic concepts of Lie Groups and algebras including root systems, algebraic groups, and representation theory.

Learning Outcomes

Students should know all relevant definitions, correct statements of the major theorems (including their hypotheses and limitations), and examples and non-examples of the various concepts. The students should be able to demonstrate their mastery by solving non-trivial problems related to these concepts, and by proving simple (but non-trivial) theorems about the concepts below, related to, but not identical to, statements proven by the text or instructor. For more detailed information visit the Math 674 Wiki page.

Overview

Students will master the basic concepts of Lie Groups and algebras including root systems, algebraic groups, and representation theory. Possible applications to physics or to other areas of mathematics.
